New Steels in the House

Just got some new steels and PM stainless should be arriving next week.

52100
Mystery Carbon (2 bars, but can order more from Devin if there is interest)
John Thomas 52100 Damascus (ladder and bubble-wrap, with chevron in 2-3 weeks)
PM stainless should be arriving next week

Are these steels mono or clad? I've been meaning to ask specifically about DT's Mystery Carbon.

These are all going to be monosteel knives. I will use san mai construction down the road with damascus cladding, but the core steel and damascus cladding will be the same steel like AEB-L or 52100, so when heat treated, the core and cladding will be of the same hardness ~ 62RC.

Mystery carbon will need to be pork fat treated to force the patina, as the steel the very reactive, but once forced, the patina will be spectacular. This steel should have better wear resistance than 52100.
